If you accidentally filled 92 octane gas instead of 95 octane, there's no need to worry excessively. When different octane ratings are mixed, no special maintenance is required. Simply refuel with the correct octane rating as specified by your vehicle when conditions permit. Some car owners believe that using higher-octane fuel can boost performance, but this is unnecessary. If the engine's compression ratio doesn't meet the standard, even premium fuel won't make a difference. Fueling precautions: 1. Check mileage: Refuel when your remaining range is below 200 km. 2. Parking position: Don't park at gas station entrances; choose an unmanned pump and maintain a safe distance. 3. Turn off the engine: Roll down the window before shutting off the engine. 4. No smoking: Absolutely no ignition operations or smoking in the vehicle.

What is the Difference Between Large Trade and Small Trade?

The differences between large trade and small trade are as follows: 1. Introduction method: Large trade involves bulk imports by manufacturers with manufacturer after-sales service, while small trade involves small-scale imports by dealers with dealer after-sales service. 2. Certification method: Large trade requires 3C compulsory certification, one certification per model. Small trade requires a separate inspection certification report for each vehicle (higher cost). 3. Cost: Large trade has higher marketing costs, while small trade has lower marketing expenses. Additional information: 1. Manufacturer direction: "Large trade vehicles" are those supplied by manufacturers to the Chinese market in compliance with national regulations, collectively referred to as "regular trade vehicles that meet Chinese national safety standards"; so-called "small trade vehicles" are mostly products imported into the Chinese market through unconventional cross-country or regional channels, with the biggest difference being that they are cheaper but lack original factory warranty. 2. Relevant regulations: "Large trade vehicles" must legally provide original factory warranty in accordance with Chinese national mandatory regulations, otherwise they will face penalties such as import suspension; whereas "small trade vehicles" (or small batches) are vehicles imported by applicants or import units based on their own usage principles, after applying to national import regulatory authorities, and must declare that they will bear the usage risks of the vehicles themselves before import, meaning that maintenance, warranty, and whether the vehicle can be registered are all their own responsibilities.

Is 7 liters per 100 kilometers high?

7 liters per 100 kilometers is not high. Here are the specific factors affecting fuel consumption: 1. Vehicle condition: In addition to regular cleaning, it's important to maintain the vehicle's condition with timely repairs and periodic maintenance. 2. Driving habits: Poor driving habits can waste fuel, such as carrying unnecessary weight, driving with windows open at high speeds, and sudden acceleration or deceleration, all of which increase fuel consumption. 3. Road conditions: Driving in urban areas can increase fuel consumption by 20% compared to test tracks, mainly due to frequent starts, stops at traffic lights, and gear shifting for acceleration and deceleration.

Is Commercial Insurance Still Valid After Compulsory Traffic Insurance Expires?

After the compulsory traffic insurance expires, commercial insurance will cover under the following specific circumstances. For the other party's losses within the compensation scope of compulsory traffic insurance, the insurance company will not compensate due to the expiration of compulsory traffic insurance. For the other party's losses exceeding the compensation scope of compulsory traffic insurance, after deducting the compulsory traffic insurance compensation amount, the relevant commercial insurance coverage will compensate. For your own losses, they will first be compensated by the other party's compulsory traffic insurance (no-fault compensation), and the excess will be covered by your own relevant commercial insurance coverage. Compulsory traffic insurance compensation procedure: If the compulsory traffic insurance claim involves third-party casualties or property damage in a road traffic accident, the policyholder should first contact the 120 emergency number (in case of personal injury), call the 122 traffic police number, and report the case to the insurance company's customer service hotline. Cooperate with the insurance company in on-site investigation, and may request the insurance company to pay or advance the rescue fees based on the situation. The insurance company should, within 1 day of receiving the compensation claim, provide a written notice of the required proofs and materials related to the compensation. Within 5 days of receiving the proofs and materials, the insurance company should determine whether it falls under the insurance liability and notify the policyholder of the result. For cases not covered by the insurance liability, a written explanation should be provided. For cases covered by the insurance liability, the insurance company should compensate within 10 days after reaching a compensation agreement with the policyholder.

Does driving with car tires in water on rainy days have any impact?

Soaking car tires in water for a day or shorter periods has no impact. However, prolonged immersion of car tires in water or parking the vehicle in standing water where the water level exceeds the wheel hubs can significantly affect the wheel hubs and braking components. This is because wheel hubs and braking parts are made of metal, and immersion in water can lead to oxidation reactions, causing rust on the wheel hubs and braking components, which in turn affects the car's braking performance. Below is more related information: Precautions: 1. Short-term immersion of car tires in water does not affect the tires because tires are rubber products that do not dissolve in water. Moreover, tires undergo vulcanization treatment, giving them high resistance to corrosion, high temperatures, and other properties, let alone just being soaked in water. However, prolonged immersion in water can have some impact because friction between the tires and the ground can create small pits on the tire surface, allowing contaminants to enter the tire. When these contaminants come into contact with water, chemical reactions may occur, damaging the tire. 2. Whenever possible, avoid parking the car in areas with standing water. Instead, park on a cool, dry, and level ground, and also avoid contact between the tires and oil, acids, flammable materials, or chemical corrosive substances, as these can cause corrosion, deformation, softening, etc.
